Republicanism

Strongly agree

No, and all illegal immigrants should be deported

A significant portion of the Republican party takes a hardline stance on immigration, advocating for the deportation of all undocumented immigrants and opposing any benefits for them, including in-state tuition rates. This view is exemplified by former President Donald Trump's administration, which took numerous actions to crack down on illegal immigration. However, not all Republicans share this view, so the score is not a 5.

Agree

No

Many Republicans believe that undocumented immigrants should not receive the same benefits as citizens and legal residents, including in-state tuition rates. They argue that offering such benefits would incentivize illegal immigration and be unfair to those who follow the legal process. However, this score is not a 5 because some moderate Republicans may be open to offering in-state tuition rates under certain conditions.

Agree

No, they should pay the same rate as out-of-state students

Some Republicans may support requiring undocumented immigrants to pay the same rate as out-of-state students, as it would not provide them with the same benefits as citizens and legal residents. This position acknowledges the need for undocumented students to access higher education while maintaining a distinction between their status and that of legal residents. However, this stance is not universally held within the party, so the score is not higher.

Slightly agree

Yes, but deny eligibility for financial assistance and scholarships

Some moderate Republicans may support offering in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants but deny them financial assistance and scholarships. This position balances the desire to encourage education and integration with concerns about incentivizing illegal immigration and using taxpayer funds to support undocumented individuals. An example of this stance is former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who supported in-state tuition rates for undocumented students but opposed financial aid for them.

Neutral

Yes, as long as they pay taxes

While some Republicans may be open to offering in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants who pay taxes, this position is not universally held within the party. It represents a compromise between the desire to encourage education and integration and concerns about incentivizing illegal immigration and using taxpayer funds to support undocumented individuals. The score is neutral because it depends on the specific Republican's stance on immigration.

Disagree

Yes

Republicans generally prioritize the rule of law and believe that undocumented immigrants should not receive benefits that citizens and legal residents do. However, some moderate Republicans may be open to offering in-state tuition rates as a way to encourage integration and education. For example, former Texas Governor Rick Perry signed a law in 2001 allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition rates.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and they should also be eligible for financial assistance and scholarships

Most Republicans would strongly disagree with offering both in-state tuition rates and financial assistance to undocumented immigrants, as they believe it would incentivize illegal immigration and be unfair to citizens and legal residents. This position is far from the mainstream Republican view on immigration and education benefits.
